PSA: Don't use system cleaners, they won't speed up your PC https://www.ghacks.net/2019/08/05/psa-dont-use-system-cleaners-they-wont-speed-up-your-pc/
Particularly relevant to me in this article: "I won't lie to you: I have been using CCleaner for a decade until it was acquired by Avast in 2017. But that's on me, I use multiple browsers and I was lazy to open them and wipe the data on each browser, and CCleaner offered a fast way of doing that." What I use Ccleaner for, no real need for speed with SSD's.

Microsoft bans CCleaner from its support forums September 25, 2019 https://betanews.com/2019/09/25/microsoft-blacklists-ccleaner/
Deservedly so! A user commented on the article: "One thing I agree on, Avast took an efficient nice freeware, ccleaner and turned it into a giant cesspool of bloatware, slow and full of predatory behavior. I use Windows every while from a VM to support family members and friends, and it is really sad to see how ccleaner was run into the ground by Avast."
Microsoft blocks official CCleaner domain on its Answers site https://www.ghacks.net/2019/09/25/microsoft-blocks-official-ccleaner-domain-on-its-answers-site/
Seems it may have been a bit of a hoax https://www.htnovo.net/2019/09/riguardo-ccleaner-nei-forum-microsoft.html Using Google translate.. CCleaner is not in any Microsoft Blacklist and there are no Blacklists regarding other domains in the official Microsoft forums. Publication errors have led to the dissemination of misinterpreted announcements that do not correspond to the reality of the facts.
thank you!! how do you stop this avast cleaner from starting up when firing up pc in the morning? thanks
Exclusive: First look at CCleaner’s Health Check feature https://techdows.com/2019/10/exclusive-first-look-at-ccleaner-health-check-feature.html
More obfuscation and over-simplification made for bloat-lovers of the world! And that user interface is uglifying itself right up there with metro.
Avast dumbing it down. As long as the custom clean remains ... though I am increasingly inclined to use Wise Disk Cleaner.
